HoI 4 - 1.5.1 BETA dd05 Referendums don't work

[Antihero97]

Noticed bug while trying to play fascist Greece I never got the decision to call for a referendum my fascist support got all the way up to like 70% then it fired a civil war event and had to choose a side. The referendum decision in 1.5.0 appears when I have a ideology minister and over 50% support for that party. In both of the betas that have come out I have not been able to get the decision to appear. This has resulted in any country that changes ideology without a focus to immediately change the ruling party to always have a civil war. I have tried this with several country's and will included my latest attempt of going fascist as Austria in this post. I already reported this on the bug forum but decided to put it here as well just as a warning for anyone going on the beat patch.

Look in your decision tab, there you'll see some extra options for taking over.

I did all of the decisions available except for prepare for civil war. The expand civil support one is is repeatable. The decision to call a referendum wont appear no matter how high my popularity gets and always leads to a civil war event. The decision will appear after getting more than 50% in 1.5.0 just not in 1.5.1 Beta.

I got it fine...

Did you try in 1.5.0 or the 1.5.1 Beta that is out?

I didn't know there was a beta... That might explain it.

Just tired a new file same thing happens it dose work in 1.5.0 but not in the beta. I did find a way to fix it. Start in 1.5.1 beta and get to the point the party you want to over 50% save and then exit the game. Launch the game in 1.5 and the decision appears. After taking the decision save and go back to 1.5.1 beta.

I've confirmated it in the BETA Thread! In my case, the desicion doesn't even appear.

There appears to have been an update since then, but last I checked the 1.5.1 beta appears to have locked the referendum option behind the Prepare for Civil War decision (prepare for civil war sets a flag that the referendum decisions looks for).

Yeah just tried taking prepare for civil war and the referendum option appeared. Don't know if its a bug or intentional. Seems weird that you would need to take that option to do a referendum now. 150 for the adviser 50 for preparing for civil war then another 100 to get referendum not including any spent on opening the political spectrum, discrediting the government, and expanding civil support.
